In the Nanyue Imperial Palace, Emperor Daxing's Zigong Palace was parked in the middle of the surrounding flowers, fruits, gold and jewelry. The old emperor had a queen during his lifetime, but at the age of his early forties, Zhuge Sheng was the eldest son of this queen, and he was the second in the princes; Two concubines, one of whom has been very favored in the past two years, Liu Guifei gave birth to two sons, namely Zhuge Ke ranked sixth, Zhuge Key ranked twelfth, this Liu Guifei's previous level has always been low, and she was suddenly favored in the past two years, and she was crowned a concubine a year ago; There is also a concubine surnamed Wang, who is older, three years older than Emperor Daxing, but she gave birth to the eldest son, ranking the eldest among the princes, Wang Guifei has a title, Yi Guifei, and the rest have four concubines, each of whom almost has a princess, and the Nanyue royal family is rich in children.

Kneeling on the side of the Zi Palace is the queen mother first, then the second eldest princess among the women in the palace, and then the two concubines, the four concubines, all the princes' concubines and the prince's side concubines, the low-ranking maidens in the palace, and finally the side concubines of the princes. On the other side, kneeling first was His Royal Highness the Prince, who should be the emperor immediately, and then the eldest son Zhuge Lei, the prince of Qi, Zhuge Mian, the prince of Yan, Zhuge Xun, the prince of Zhao, and Zhuge Ke, the prince of Wei...... Many young princes knelt outside before they were crowned kings, Zhuge Yue was still in East China and had not yet arrived in Nanyue, and some clan relatives and ministers were kneeling outside the door.

"His Royal Highness the Prince." Zuo Xiang came in from outside the door and saluted the queen and the prince: "Please show the edict." ”

The queen suddenly stood up and looked at her son: "Let the little father-in-law go to get the edict, the date of accession to the throne should be determined, and the country cannot be without a king for a day." ”

The prince stood up and looked at his father's former personal little father-in-law, the little father-in-law was the one that Zhuge Shengxin replaced him with after his father's illness, and he was completely Zhuge Sheng's henchman, he saw Niangniang say this, his face was frightened, how could he read it if he didn't get the edict? ! Although he seems to have seen Emperor Daxing write that thing, he has never seen it a second time, nor has he seen him give it to people, whether he really has it or not, he really has some doubts about whether he really sees it really, and whether he is wrong or not is also a thing.

When the prince saw him like this, he realized that although his father had been ill for a long time, it seemed that there was really no edict left to him...

"Queen Mother, looking at the appearance of Gonggong Li, my father may not have an edict." Sheng'er is the crown prince, the prince of the Eight Classics, even if he has no edict, he can ascend the throne, he has been the prince since he was a child, he never thought that there would be a more suitable candidate for the monarch than him!

"Since there is no edict, then the prince should ascend the throne, and the minister will ask Qin Tianjian to choose a date for Niangniang and His Royal Highness to consider." Zuo Xiang went out of the house.

Zuo Xiang is actually a princeling, whether there is an edict or not for him must be the prince to ascend the throne, and among the many princes, there is no more suitable for being a king than the prince, but the prince has a testament so that the name is more justified, sometimes the name is not right, it will be bad, the prince is the prince, if it does not exist, it must be his object, and he is too worried. However, there are still other princes who are not subservient, and those older princes estimate that they should all have two hearts, they are all crowned princes, who is not the emperor's son, why is the throne the prince's, why can't they win the title, the most conspicuous thing here is the king of Qi, the longest.

"Second brother, my father has been sick for so long, and it's not a day or two, how can there be no edict?! Father loves you so much, if you want to say that you can ascend the throne without a testament, it's just a little ......" Prince Qi didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, he deliberately said this, and he didn't call His Royal Highness the Prince, but directly called the second brother, Zhuge Sheng's face suddenly became ugly.

"King Qi, my father also thinks that there is no need to leave any edicts, he is the prince from birth, do you need to do this more! In the past, when my father was still there, you were all my ministers, but now you are actually calling the second brother! Are you going to do the opposite? "Zhuge Sheng received a notice a few days ago that the emperor was seriously ill, and his father didn't summon him much after he came back, at this time he really shouldn't have promised to go to the valley, he was not around when the crown princess gave birth to his eldest son, fortunately, the queen was in charge, and there was nothing out of the moth. This King of Qi relied on the fact that his mother was a noble concubine and he was the eldest son, and he had always been unable to get along with Zhuge Sheng, calling him King Qi to represent his noble status as the crown prince!

"Big brother, you say this about the prince, do you have a testament?" Zhuge Mian from Concubine Niangniang is a princeling, and the king of Qi is the first to make trouble, so he naturally wants to help the prince, but it seems that the meaning of provoking a war is stronger: "My father has always cultivated the prince as a king, and what we have cultivated is the way of ministers, isn't this obvious?!" ”

Zhuge Lei knew that he was at a loss, and he knelt in front of Emperor Daxing and no longer spoke, at this time, it was not a few words that could solve the problem, he had an army in his hands, and the five thousand forbidden troops in Panyu City were still in his hands, in addition to the palace guard camp and the prince's east palace guard, he counted the most people, and the tiger battalion of the Wuwei Army outside the city was also his uncle as a leader.

Zhuge Xun can't offend anyone, no matter what he does, the throne is not his own, it's better to be an idle prince who can't be offended by anyone, and it is important to save his life. Kneel there without saying a word, concentrating on keeping the spirit.

Zhuge Ke covered the real edict in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word, his mother Liu Guifei looked at him and glanced at him, it should be the meaning of don't come out, at this time, there are various forces of religious etiquette and public opinion standing behind the prince, and the two of them have no strength to compete with him, and they complain that the emperor left too early, and Liu Guifei has not really stood firm to compete with the queen. Moreover, the edict in their hands said that if Zhuge Sheng was not the emperor, he could be Zhuge Ke's, that is to say, Zhuge Ke was a spare tire, and now Zhuge Sheng's sons have come out, and he is still the eldest grandson of the eldest son, this edict is a burden to him, and there is no way to live if he takes it out.

The emperor has always recognized Zhuge Sheng as the emperor, after Liu Guifei was favored, Zhuge Ke's life was much better, and he gradually became favored in front of the emperor, the emperor saw that he was very satisfactory in all aspects, when Zhuge Sheng had no son, the old emperor gave Zhuge Ke such an edict, and then Zhuge Sheng gave birth to his eldest son, the old emperor has been seriously ill, and he did not care about the edict, when Zhuge Ke came to serve the sick around him, the old emperor also mentioned the edict, let him bring it next time, and then he hung up himself, Zhuge Ke took the edict and didn't dare to say anything.

The princes who have not been crowned kings are all kneeling outside the hall, and only the older princes who have been crowned can come in. Zhuge Sheng looked at his brothers, and at this time, everyone finally couldn't bear to want to make trouble, especially this Zhuge Lei.

"Let Qin Tianjian choose an earlier good day, and the early accession to the throne will also break these people's thoughts!" Zhuge Sheng turned his face to his personal eunuch Ah Cheng and said, Ah Cheng took the order to retreat after hearing this.

"King Qi, it is respect for Lone to call you the eldest brother, and it is not subservient for you to call Lone the second brother! It's not that I'm alone against you, it's just that my father's bones are not cold, and you are making trouble like this! Loneliness is not tolerated! Come on, send King Qi back to his house and confined, and don't come out without Lone's order! Don't take the living eldest brother of the forbidden army anymore, give it to the third brother! "Zhuge Sheng took Zhuge Lei's knife!

"My father let my ministers lead the forbidden army, and my father's bones are not cold, you treat your brother like this, and your courtesy, righteousness, and shame since elementary school are these?!" What is the difference between asking Zhuge Lei to hand over the forbidden army and cutting his flesh! Still in front of Emperor Daxing's Zi Palace, slapping him and Yi Guifei in the face like this, Zhuge Lei thought about it on the spot, Yi Guifei hurriedly walked in front of the prince and knelt down and pressed Zhuge Lei's hand: "Don't thank you yet!" ”

Zhuge Lei looked hateful, but when he saw the appearance of the mother concubine shaking her head and signaling him, he didn't dare to attack, after all, the prince was still much stronger than the background behind him, and he took the lead.

Zhuge Lei thanked him and was taken home by the guard battalion to take care of him, and the concubine and concubine were also taken away, and Concubine Yi returned to her place to guard the spirit. It was the third Zhuge Mian who took care of him, he just took over the forbidden army, and took them to see the former leader of the forbidden army, he was not stupid, he went back to the palace to guard the spirit, he didn't care if the forbidden army could watch his old master, the big deal was a dereliction of duty, and he would still know some mud, so that the king of Qi reversed and fought with the prince, although the prince had an advantage, but it was not an absolute advantage.

The crown prince Zhuge Sheng walked out and whispered to his henchmen: "Looking at the people of King Qi, come back and tell Gu if there is any movement." The little eunuch went down without saying a word, and when the queen saw that the prince was at the door, she also found a reason to go out for a walk, and walked to the side of the prince, and the mother and son whispered.

"Why, Xiao Lizi didn't find the edict or was taken away by someone else, or there was no edict at all?!" The queen asked in a whisper.

"It's not clear to be lonely, it's all possible." Zhuge Sheng regretted that he didn't stay by his side when he was seriously ill, and he went to Emperor Daxing as soon as he came back.

"Be careful, send someone to check, you can check the eyeliner of each palace, this is a big deal." The queen mother seeks stability, her second son should be the emperor, but she is afraid that there will be any moths.

"Don't worry, the queen mother, the son is looking for a recent date to ascend the throne, and then check slowly, there are only a few princes that my father likes, and there is no King Qi in it, what are you afraid of! However, the forbidden army and the tiger camp in his hands really need to be weighed, he doesn't oppose it, and he won't move her before he ascends the throne. Zhuge Sheng and the queen talked eloquently, and the ministers who were not surprised at all were watching, although the voice was small, this was not a place to chat.

"The queen mother has gone back, you should pay more attention to yourself, notify me in time if there is anything, watch outside, and go in to keep the spirit." After saying that, the queen went in and continued to guard.

Meng Meng knelt in the special seat of the princess and concubine, she and Zhuge Ke have also been working the child's affairs when they came back from East China, now is the time to see the results, but they have to keep kneeling here, there is no bottom in their hearts, the queen and the prince do not want to see her and Zhuge Ke and the concubine, it is difficult for the prince to have a good life after he ascends the throne, and he suddenly does not want children at this juncture. Meng Meng is already squeamish, plus she is a little tired, and her eyelids are fighting, what can't happen at this time, it will cause trouble for Zhuge Ke, you must resist it. Meng Meng gritted her teeth and insisted on kneeling, how could her body really be unbearable, Nanyue was already hot, and now it was a summer day, her vision was blurred, and she fell down directly.

"Princess Wei has fainted!" The princess next to her was startled and hurriedly shouted, Zhuge Ke hurriedly ran over when he saw this, hugged Mengmeng and wanted to pinch her, the concubine turned her face and said to the personal palace maid: "Go and call our henchman to show the princess." ”

Meng Meng was married for a year before Zhuge Ke was crowned king, she was only the sixth princess before, and now she is finally the princess of Wei, but the old emperor died a few days after opening the Yajian Mansion, and only after coming back from East China did he really want to have children, this juncture, Meng Meng didn't want to be different, but I don't know why I passed out, Zhuge Ke had woken up when she pinched her, but she was afraid of being punished, and she was still pretending to be dizzy. Zhuge Ke hugged her and looked at her eyelids and knew that this guy actually began to pretend to be asleep, so he had no choice but to hold it tighter in his arms, and when the imperial doctor came to see the situation, the husband and wife did not discuss it, Zhuge Ke really didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, please loosen up a little and let the old man show you the princess." After the imperial doctor came, he was busy asking Mengmeng to ask about it, and there was nothing wrong with it after looking around, Zhuge Ke hugged it tightly, and he couldn't see it really, and in the end, only cutting the pulse was the only thing he could do.

"Imperial Doctor, what happened to Princess Wei?" Liu Guifei hurriedly walked to the side and asked, taking two steps by herself to rest for a while.

The imperial doctor didn't say a word after the diagnosis, and walked to the queen and the crown prince before kneeling down and replied: "Princess Wei is pregnant, plus fainting caused by excessive fatigue. ”

"Oh? This is a good thing, Liu Guifei has a queen with King Wei. The queen opened her mouth before the crown prince.

"The sixth brother will send the princess home so that she can give birth and raise her." At such a time, the crown prince took benevolence and righteousness towards enemies who were not friends, stabilized them, and waited until he ascended the throne to sit firmly and then slowly free up his hands to clean them up.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" Zhuge was cautious and cautious.

"You send your younger siblings over and come back to keep a vigil for your father." Zhuge Sheng didn't give up the days when the princes got together easily, no matter how they said that they were all safe under their noses, and the harm was small.

"Yes, I obey." Zhuge Ke just said it and thanked him respectfully.

"Now if you are pregnant, go home and raise them." The prince will do a very decent job at this time, buying people's hearts and acting all the time.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" Zhuge Ke's cautious appearance has always protected him from being taken seriously, from the attention of the prince.

Meng Meng in Zhuge Ke's arms slowly woke up when she heard these pretenses, and looked weakly at Zhuge Ke who was holding her, here Zhuge Ke didn't dare to have any expression, and didn't dare to say anything, so he slowly helped her up, Meng Meng pretended not to kneel in front of Zhuge Sheng: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine is wrong, she shouldn't faint." ”

"Brother and sister, get up quickly, you don't need to be polite when you're pregnant, go home and raise it." After Zhuge Sheng finished speaking, he ignored them, walked to his place and guarded the spirit alone, Zhuge Ke patted Mengmeng's hand to be more low-key, spoke less, and helped her back to the palace.

Back in the princess's bedroom, Zhuge Ke hurriedly closed the door, except for Mengmeng and no one with her, he took out the edict from his arms, handed it to Mengmeng and said: "I will hand over this thing that is related to the safety of the whole family to you, without my permission, only you know and I know, and you must not tell anyone, my princess!" My cuteness! Thank you for giving me a sense of home, and when you are pregnant in the future, your mother will not be difficult for you again. ”

Meng Meng's tears swirled in her eyes, her trembling hand took the edict and put it in her arms, held Zhuge Ke's hand and cried for a while, and when she was well, Zhuge Ke explained some things softly, and opened the door to call someone to serve, and after the control of the palace was also re-explained, he returned to the palace.
